Logistics Plus Purchases Former Skinner Engine Company Building
Erie, PA, October 1, 2013 – Logistics Plus is the proud new owner of a warehouse located in the former Skinner Engine Company building on 12th Street between Chestnut and Myrtle Streets.
Along with 50,000 square feet of storage space, the secured facility offers spacious offices, bulk storage and racked storage, an inventory control management system, overhead cranes, three recessed loading docks, and grade level doors with inside load/unload capabilities. Logistics Plus already has most of the space filled, although there is still office space available in this central location on busy 12th Street.
This warehouse is a welcome addition to the transportation and supply chain solutions that Logistics Plus already offers, and also helps to revitalize a portion of 12th Street in Erie. By providing the financing, Marquette Savings Bank and the City of Erie were vital partners in this project.
